The very first thing to do after you replace the starter on your 2014 Ford Focus is to disconnect the negative terminal from the battery. Dealing with electrical components poses a risk of serious injury, so this step is crucial for safety. After that, ensure your car is in park, engage the parking brake, and lift the front end of the car using a jack. This will provide better accessibility. Next, remove the air cleaner outlet tube from the throttle body and the power steering pump. Then, loosen the mounting bolts of the starter motor and take it out. Proceed by disconnecting the starter wiring and removing the nuts. Once the starter is free, you can then install the new starter by reversing the steps.
